# ConfigurableFilePermissions

interface ConfigurableFilePermissions : FilePermissions

Provides the means of specifying file and directory access permissions for all classes of system users.

For details on classes of users and file/directory permissions see FilePermissions.

An example usage of this functionality would be configuring a copy task and explicitly specifying the destination file permissions:

    from(...)
    into(...)
    filePermissions {
        user {
            read = true
            execute = true
        }
        other.execute = false
    }
